Hey kdksksk! I think the first step to figuring out what's going on is to take a break from rubbing your clitoris for a couple of days, just like you read. You said you're able to still feel some pleasure, so I'm thinking taking a few days off will help regain the ability to masturbate for a longer ...

Hey sweet-lemonade! Yep, I think all the information you've given us here is appropriate to share with a doctor. Marisha suggested seeing a gynecologist, and I agree that they would likely be the best fit for what you're experiencing. Have you ever been to one?

Hey Holly55, Your implant is made to be sturdy and flexible! An itch or a bump or other similar everyday occurrences and will not cause damage to your implant or its effectiveness.

Hi Springflower! Thank you for sharing all of this with us. Sometimes it can be hard to be vulnerable and open about past behavior we aren't proud of. It sounds like you've taken your growth very seriously, and I think you should be really proud of the progress you made in not only getting to a heal...

Hey haikyufan123! I think Marisha is touching on some great point here, one of the most important being that it sounds like you did not intentionally violate your boyfriend's boundaries and you do not want to do it again. In order to not do it again I think you need to keep communication about sex a...

Hey BuddyBoi! Just catching up on your thread since I last chimed in. I totally get what you're saying about feeling like you can't win with this - like I said before, I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I realized that the more I tried to get back out there, the more pressure I felt from...

Hey BuddyBoi21 -- I'm so impressed with how honest and vulnerable you've been in this thread. It sounds like you are having a super rough time right now. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having some difficulty eating, sleeping, and feeling lonely. You mentioned before that at one point you were talk...

Hi Hel! You're right, sex drive is different for everyone! Environment and age can be factors in how often someone wants to have sex. Another common factor could be mental health or stress level. If your body has a period, you may also feel an extra surge in your sex drive around the time you ovulat...

I! Love! Jumpsuits! These are very trendy at the moment where I live, but I'll be wearing these for the rest of my life. Sometimes I get really overwhelmed by getting dressed and choosing what to wear, and I find that articles of clothing that are nearly a complete outfit with just one piece (like d...

Hey Nia Ray! What I'm hearing in your post is that you've done some research on sexuality and are comfortable identifying as bi, but also have some concerns about the terms you're using because of your feelings about your desire to have penetrative sex. Sofi is totally right - the labels and terms y...

I've had a number of platonic relationships where I haven't even considered hitting on them. They're real things, though it can be hard to tell the difference between them and liking someone at times. I was in a relationship with someone for about 8 months before we realized that we were just close...
